Publisher's Synopsis
For Technical Drawing, Engineering Drawing, Introductory Design and Introductory AutoCAD courses.
Written to address ABET recommendations to include more design content in traditional engineering drawing courses, this straightforward, visual-driven text introduces students to the many features of AutoCAD while developing a basic understanding of design. Its comprehensive coverage is divided into three parts-an introduction to the fundamentals of AutoCAD Release 14; an explanation of many AutoCAD three-dimensional capabilities; and a demonstration of how to apply these three-dimensional capabilities to design problems.
